Why does my thermostat keep going up by itself?
Non-programmable Thermostat Changes Temp on Its Own If batteries are in a digital thermostat that has the C, or common wire hooked up, sometimes they can go bad, and leak acid into the thermostat. Just replace, or remove the batteries and that should fix the problem.
Is it safe to run an air conditioner at 58 degrees?
In most cases, especially in homes, you should not run an air conditioner at 58 degrees F or lower. The air conditioner does function, but you are going to burn out the compressor fairly quickly. It is safe to run the fan if the heat exchanger is disabled.
What should temperature be for AC to keep up?
However, no higher than 84 degrees. This is a good way to save energy over the course of time. This way, the AC doesn’t have to work too hard to bring the temperature down to somewhere between 75-80 degrees. On hotter days (98 degrees & above), we recommend you let that unit run so it can “keep up.”
When does the air conditioner blow at 40 degrees?
The Air Conditioning system works well when sitting in the driveway with 40 degree air being blown out of the vents. When driving with the air temperature below 75 degrees it still blows at 40 degrees. However; if the temperature is above 80 degrees (give or take) the blowing air will be at 75/80 degrees or higher.
Why does a / C not work when it’s hot outside?
It only cools when the ambient temperature is approximately 85° or lower. Above that temperature it blows extremely hot air. The compressor cuts on and off very quickly, sometimes when it’s cooling but always when it blows hot. It is not low on Freon. 22 people found this helpful. My Toyota Highlander had the same problem.

What should the temperature be when you turn on the air conditioner?
While they’re out, the indoor home temperature rises considerably. For example, it can be 95 degrees outside and by the time you arrive home the indoor temperature has risen to 88 degrees. This is an uncomfortable temperature for most families so turning on the air conditioner is the logical solution, usually set in between 73 to 75 degrees.
